Jack’s Camp – Makgadikgadi Pans, Botswana
In the heart of Botswana’s vast Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, Jack’s Camp stands as a bold tribute to vintage safari glamour and desert adventure. Recently rebuilt, yet faithfully preserved in style, the camp features ten opulent tented suites that blend 1940s campaign elegance with bold textiles, museum-worthy curiosities, and sweeping views of the lunar-like landscape.
Jack’s is unlike any other safari experience — a place where meerkats climb onto your shoulders, ancient baobabs dot the horizon, and the silence of the pans creates a sense of timelessness. Each suite features a private plunge pool, richly layered interiors with Persian rugs and four-poster beds, and an en-suite bathroom complete with indoor and outdoor showers. The main mess tent is a marvel — housing a Persian tea tent, antique pool table, and a cabinet of natural wonders.
Guests can explore the pans by 4×4, quad bike, or on foot with San Bushmen guides, gaining rare insight into this ancient land. Whether under a canopy of stars or gliding across the pans at golden hour, Jack’s Camp is a place of magic, mystery, and raw beauty — unapologetically iconic.
